1
1) Heorot's plea and Grendel's awakening.
2
Midnight suns bid moors farewell, retreats from charging dusk,
3
Mountain echo, curfews bell, signal ending tasks
4
They place their faith in oaken doors, cower in candlelight
5
The panic seeps through bloodstained floors as Grendel stalks the night
6
Earth rim walker seeks his meals
7
Prepare the funeral pyres
8
The shaper's song no longer heal the fear
9
Within their eyes, [their eyes]
10
Wooden figures, pagan gods, stare blindly cross the sea
11
Appeal for help from ocean fogs, for saviour born of dreams
12
They know their lives are forfeit now, priestly head they bow in shame
13
They cannot face the trembling crowd that flinch in Grendel's name
14
Earth rim walker seeks his meals
15
Prepare the funeral pyres
16
The shaper's song no longer heal the fear
17
Within their eyes, (their eyes)
18
As Grendel leaves his mossy home beneath the stagnant mere
19
Along the forest path he roams to Hrothgar's hall so clear
20
He Knows that victory is secured, his charm will testify
21
His claws will drip with mortal blood as moonbeams haunt the sky
22
As Grendel leaves his mossy home beneath the stagnant mere
23
Along the forest path he roams to Hrothgar's hall so clear
24
He Knows that victory is secured, his charm will testify
25
His claws will drip with mortal blood, as moonbeams haunt the sky
26
Earth rim walker seeks his meals
27
Prepare the funeral pyres
28
The shaper's song no longer heal the fear
29
Within their eyes, (their eyes)
30
2) Grendel's Journey.
31
Silken membranes span his path, fingerprints in dew
32
Denizens of twilight lands humbly beg him through
33
Mother nature's bastard child shunned by leaf and stream
34
As alien in an alien land seeks solace within dreams
35
The shaper's lies his poisoned tongue malign with mocking harp
36
Beguiling queen her innocence offends his icy heart
37
3) Lurker at the Threshold.
38
Hounds freeze in silence bewitched by the reptile spell
39
Sulphurous essence pervades round the grassy dell
40
Heorot awaits him like lamb to the butcher's knife
41
Stellular heavens ignore even children's cries
42
Screams are his music, lightning his guide
43
Raping the darkness, d-d-death by his side
44
Chants rise in terror, free round the oaken beams
45
Flickering firelight portraying the grisly scene
46
Warriors advance, prepare for the nightmare foe
47
Futile their sacrifice as even their hearts must know
48
Heroes delusion, with feet in the grave
49
Lurker at the threshold, he cares not for the brave, he cares not for the brave
50
4) Finale.
51
So you thought that your bolts and your locks would keep me out?
52
You should have known better after all this time
53
You're gonna pay in blood for all your vicious slander
54
With your ugly pale skins and your putrid blue eyes
55
Why should I feel pity when you kill your own and feel no shame
56
God's on my side, sure as hell, I'm gonna take no blame
57
I'm gonna take no blame, I'm gonna take no blame
58
So you say you believe in all of Mother Nature's laws
59
You lust for gold with your sharpened knives
60
Oh when your hoards are gathered and your enemies left to rot
61
You pray with your bloodstained hands at the feet of our pagan gods
62
Then you try to place the killer's blade in my hand
63
You call for justice and distort the truth
64
Well I've had enough of all your pretty pretty speeches
65
Receive your punishment, Expose your throats to my righteous claws
66
And let the blood flow, and let the blood flow, flow, flow, flow.
